Quick MTCPT animation

Had my last workshop of 2d animation today in my art course so I thought what better to do than a little animation of Jock? >:D

Animation is genuinely so fun, if I had the resources on hand all the time I'd love to do it more often. Unfortunately, laptops and drawing tablets cost an insane amount of money I do not have </3

I had a lot of fun animating Jock, it's awesome to see him in motion, I mean I was the last person I would've thought to do it, but I enjoyed it nonetheless!

My Two Cents + Tax Fanart for @geezerflakes

Ah, i love this comic! (And I finally found a way to post the fanart for it.)

Off to bed now!

[azherwind-art]

I'm so happy to have discovered "My two cents PLUS TAX" by @geezerflakes ! It's truly a hidden gem of a web comic, I don't know when was the last time I read something this funny And the world gives me this slight Welcome to Nightvale vibes type of feel and humor, consider checking it out on Webtoon! I want to do more fan art once in a while about web comics, little independent authors deserve so much the visibility, there is so much hard work and passion behind these type of small creators and I wish there was more hype and community around them and not just on big media

I spent way too much time in their faces

[flintoaster]

Guyssss I missed out on so much because I read that it was the last chapter and went into fight or flight 🥺😭😭 I guess I'd hoped for a longer story and almost all my favorite shows got cancelled (gay reasons probably) but it's good to know that independent art and web comics can't.. All to say, whenever My Two Cents Plus Tax is done, can some of yall stay🥺 I know I'll be here forever and I might animate some of the scenes for funzies and I JUST LOVE THEM SO MUCHHH😭😭

Btw take a look guys: https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/my-two-cents-plus-tax

The story tells about two tax collectors working in a kinda hmmmm ordinary weird and criminal town and having situations. Here they are, so middle-aged dude Jock who just does work and his [soul]mate Sanders Grave bringing fun and, ahem, whimsy to this boring, stupid job😈🗿

It is I, back with MTCPT fanart!

I adore Sander's & Jock's designs, it's so good. The colours showcase their personalities perfectly and wanted to further that by breaking down the shape language. :D

MORE MTCPT ART LETS GOOOOO!!!

"I'll try posting art once a week," he says after not posting for nearly 2 weeks.

Anyway, MTCPT art dump!!! :D

I was thinking back to the first chapter in Sanders apartment when despite already eating, chooses to go out with Jock. So, it got me thinking: Sanders enjoys Jock's company a lot (I mean I'd hope so considering he loves the guy) and when he's home alone he'd feel, lonely? like he'd just kinda feel isolated in a way, if you get what I mean? So, I imagine a bit later after they started dating Jock would come around or sleep at his every now and again so, in the mornings when they're sitting at the counter Sanders would just,,, stare. He'd just feel really nice and enjoy his company. Idk I just like thinking about sappy scenarios between characters. I probably didn't need to ramble this much but yk how I am. I love over-explaining my art.

The 9 or so years gap between the original comic and the current version Jock learned to do his tie at some point right? So, I thought Sanders would just get sick of Jock struggling all the time so he just eventually taught him how.

WHICH LOSER DESPERATELY NEEDS A HUG DUE TO DEEP-SEATED TRUST ISSUES? THE MIDDLE-AGED QUEER MAN, THAT'S RIGHT!

Finally just some random sketches of the silly tax men :D

As always I appreciate the support and love shown for my art and I can't thank you all enough <3

[fleurizo]

okay so i actually did end up drawing them as cats ahahahaaa

[daintev]

Sanders? you alright?

Getting into your own head aren't ya buddy?

Something I've noticed in the past couple of pages in chapter 4, Sanders has been tapped out, like he's on auto pilot and not really speaking all that much.

He's gotten caught up in doubts and what those pair of old folks said to them. While it doesn't really get to Jock (due to growing tough skin from dealing with shitty people a lot of his life, discussion for another time though) It really gets to Sanders, he's started going non-verbal and shutting down, maybe even dissociating. This isn't much of a surprise considering how we've seen him deal with situations and emotions like this, when he starts losing a sense of control over himself and his situation he'll start distracting himself. The entirety of chapter 3 we see him do this, focusing on some random wedding to distract himself and attempt to gain some sort of control to avoid dealing with a scary situation.

So, we've seen his struggle with confronting difficult feelings or practically any negative emotion. But thanks to that thing called character development he's getting better! but, not quiet there yet. While he's no longer attempting to avoid the situation all-together he's still struggling to deal with and talk about these negative feelings. He's swayed by his emotions, leads with his heart and such. So, he doesn't think things through on a logical ground as Jock would. I've said it before: they bring out the best of each other.

But when being an emotional person he feels everything very strongly, so, when it comes to any form of negative emotion he really feels it. He's started spiraling and as a way of coping his brain has shut down and gone on auto pilot mode.

It sort of reminded me something I do, I'll be staring at nothing and letting my mind just wonder. Of course, when I'm feeling/or something makes me upset it's amplified and becomes less-so relaxing and more-so spiraling as my mind wonders to bad places. I think that's what's happening with Sanders here, to put it simply: he's freaking the fuck out. And he doesn't know how to deal with it, his brain shuts down, most likely as a defense mechanism.

Eventually, he'll get there. Both Jock and Sanders are learning from one another and constantly improving, growing and changing. I'm just interested to see how it'll play out.
